The term 'nude' – frequently used nowadays – refers to any color from milky white to beige or pale pink. Whether sheer or opaque, nude nail polish allows your natural nail color to peek through to varying degrees. A sheer polish is easier to apply, while an opaque color will last longer. It's up to you to choose the option that best suits your lifestyle!
There's nothing more chic than a well-done nude manicure for a modern, timeless look. Nude nails go well with any outfit and offer a well-groomed, effortless look. Like a lightly tinted lip balm or oil, nude polish is essential for an everyday 'no-makeup makeup' look. Read on for inspiration and tips on how to give yourself an elegant, minimalist nude manicure.Â
